Over Lake Victoria, one of the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet, the weather can be treacherous. More than 4000 people drown in this east African lake every year as storms overwhelm their boats. In January, Frank Annor, field director of the Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory, will launch a weather forecasting project to try and reduce the death toll. The system will send weather forecasts and storm warnings via SMS to local residents in Uganda, where the project will be launched.
